• Assateague Island - We will tour the southern and northern parts of Assateague island on the Virginia side searching for Chincoteague Ponies and Wildlife. We will travel in small guts and waterways to get as close as possible to all the wildlife. During the tour we will pass the Pony Swim and Assateague lighthouse. Sometimes we will cruise out into the open ocean to search for dolphins. Most of our tours will travel the entire distance around Chincoteague. We will also ask questions during boarding to get a feel of what everyone’s expectations so we can tailor the tour to your liking!
